And I can hear this person moving.

And I knew all of our people knew the rule.

Once you go down, you don't get back up at night.

Anybody moving is a bad guy.

And this guy's coming right toward me.

And I think he's going to step on me.

I slid my selector switch over the full auto.

And I'm laying there, and he's coming, and the air's so thick.

At this point, I can mentally see a silhouette coming at me, although I can't really see the silhouette.

I know where it is based on the sound, and now I'm starting to hear him breathe.

I'm starting to hear his heartbeat because he realizes he's inside the perimeter.

And he's probably about to get killed.

So his heart is thumping.

He's coming right at me.

I can't open up because I'll light the whole perimeter up and we'll be in trouble.

So I couldn't get to my knife.

So I decided just as he gets to me, I'm just gonna shoot my left hand up.

I'm gonna grab a hold of his chest, whatever you got there, and I'm gonna pull him at the same time raise my leg up and trip him.

I'm gonna pull him down to the ground.

I'm gonna hit him in the side of the head with the muzzle of my Kar-15 as I'm bringing him down.
